Why NO ONE Plays: King K. Rool | Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Let it be known however that if Gangplank Galleon is set to play as the stage music K. Rool players become unstoppable

bowser is aight

It takes skill no matter how low tier the character is

He destroys Ganon at least lol

I think it'd be cool if you did Meta Knight next. He is a character that has a lot of good things on paper (recovery, edge guarding, combos, frame data, straightforward neutral, good specials, etc) but doesn't seem to have much representation.

Figuratively and literally 🤓👆🏾👆🏾👆

It's my main. Obligated to sub just to unsub, disliked and reported for hate speech /s

one of the worst but one of the funnest

i play him

Little z

If you like heavies just stick to casual play. Feels so bad that this game has never been able to balance heavies for competitive.

And yet people couldn't shut up about this guy.

you should make a why no one/everyone plays diddy kong

Theirs many wifi k rools. As a casual I see him alot

Ur right about him not being in top level play, but I seeing this character with beginner players alot. I don't like his gimmicks. But thank God he's bad

I don't think Smash as a true D tier for characters. I think the lowest it goes is C tier. If you say someone's D or below it means they barely can get wins or perform at all in-game. That isn't the case, even for Ganondorf. They certainly are not amazing but I'd say C is as low as the tiers should go for Smash. Nobody is really D or below. We don't really have fighting games anymore with completely useless characters. Its an old mindset.

The reason like K Rool most is because he's a menace when we are both off the stage. This oversized leather purse can go to the bottom of the mf bastzone just to back air or Nair you and safely go back to the ledge. If he back throws you when you play a character with a bad recovery, you can kiss your stock goodbye.

i was super excited to see king k rool be invited into smash, but i never thought i would main him (Banjo Kazooie too, but nothing clicked). Him and bowser are my most satisfying heavy mains. Watching this video, i would surely play him all the time again.

WHAT THE FUCK?! 😱

For the first few months of ultimate's release, I played K Rool religiously. I'd beat my friends, and felt like I was doing pretty well.

Then my best friend picked up Young Link and I got subjected to what felt like the worst matchup in the history of matchups. It got so bad that I dropped the character altogether, and I haven't looked back since.

It so funny to se King K rool in the why no one plays

I play king k rool

lmfao i main king k rool can’t beat me

king k rool is the king

Man your titles are all false. I play regularly and everyone always picks the characters you claim no one plays

I am the best k rool 🗣️🗣️

Last time I played online he was picked almost every game. This was probably last year.

Easily the most satisfying character to play.

bro why are you lying i play king k rool

"I'm not mashing, I'm applying Pressure."

"Heavyweights struggle to find any success"

I guess Rob must be light now

I really like watching your Smash videos, but may I recommend slowing down your pace of talking and enunciating a bit more clearly? I find it difficult at times to keep up with what you're saying, and some of the words you use (especially Smash Bros/fighting game jargon) blur together making it more difficult to keep up. I have to concentrate quite hard to understand the commentary fully.

Because nobody plays Smash Ultimate.

Im not hearing the faults. Im a very biased k rool main...

Basically, K. Rool is easy to KO if you do not stand in front of him.

krool is one of the few heavies i can fight and not ever break a sweat on, his gameplan falls apart that much. Every single match ive lost to a krool it feel very justified because 90% of the time they were the better player.

I don't play King. K., but I like fighting him and love seeing him, even when I'm losing and they are teabagging me, I just can't be mad at him, he's funny haha

Respect to K.rool mains though I know he's pretty difficult to make work a lot of the time 👑 🐊

"smash 4 was the first time we got to see viable heavyweights"

Melee DK and Brawl DDD: am I a joke to you

I freaking love playing K. Rool in Smash and remember the extreme hype from his trailer. I feel like he's one of the most fun and well designed characters in the entire game, crafted with so much heart and soul into the model, animations and humor that was well warranted for his return, playing pretty much almost 1:1 like his boss outings. But even with that factored in, he's sadly not a completely viable fighter with flaws even a few in his design itself to not win big as much as the top tiers (cringe) but that makes playing him more rewarding when you know how to play and get Ws as him despite that. Play who you want and don't let other's opinions stop you from your passion unless you geniunely want feel like it's better for you to, it's why I continue to play him to this day. If it weren't for K. Rool returning to Smash and the players still trying or joining to push him (based af) I would've never been as big into staying in the Smash community, which is already hell imo.




Offtopic, but we need him to return to DKC and other mainline DK games/the series itself.

10 minutes of explaining why the strengths of the character are OP and 3 minutes of weaknesses that all characters has lmao
My favorite weakness is "the belly armor is only active on the belly" ah yeah great weakness bro but all of the moves are still armored ? Like why is that even listed as a weakness
Gotta be the stupidest video I have ever seen on Smash

I would love to see a why no one plays belmonts, in theory they seem like really good characters, solid ledge trapping, crazy disjoints on whip, cross is an amazing projectile etc.

I was at a high school only tournament with Bruho in attendance and he only lost one game 💀

Honestly, if K Rool's crown would just make up its mind if it wants to be an item or a boomerang, he would instantly jump to C tier.

pichu please. Amazing video tho

Requesting why no one plays Simon/Richter

King of skill
King k rool
Both have king in the name so its fitting

I quickly found K Rool one of the most annoying to fight when he came out, and everyone kept playing him super spamy. Eventually, as a Link main, I found it was easy to hit him in his blind spots, and when I found the limitations of moves I thought were broken, he became underwhelming. I don't really lose against him 1v1, sometimes beating K Rool mains who can destroy my main with their secondary.

So Snake isn't in the heavy gang? Nor ROB I guess?
You get insta ban when you get in the top tier discussion I suppose

K Rool is the thinking man's heavy. At higher levels it's just mind games with all the crazy set ups and interactions he has. You know they know your weaknesses. How you mitigate them with crown slides, blunderbuss cancels and drift and good armor plays make the difference
